“As student athletes, esports participants develop leadership skills, work collaboratively, strategize as a team, work through failures, and develop soft skills of how to negotiate, compromise, communicate with teammates. It’s all about student development.”

Extreme Elements

Learn how Extreme Elements can be pieced together to help meet learning outcomes and K-12 environmental goals such as flawlessly executing high-stakes, technology based testing.

Online testing involves large numbers of students simultaneously taking a remotely-served test on a local wireless device. There are numerous war stories of remote servers going down leaving administrators to guess at the problem, or even unaware that there is a problem, force the test to be either re-administered or thrown out entirely.

Whether for k-12 standards compliance or higher education mid-terms and finals, online testing requires high speed, low latency networking, device management, and network analytics to ensure the best possible testing experience. Our Extreme Analytics helps locate any issues that come up relative to the remotely-served test. Extreme Control makes sure that only the right devices and students are connected to the network.
